He belonged to a powerful noble family of the Republic of Florence, and he had his daughter Cristina Vespucci - the lover of Ezio Auditore da Firenze during their youths - marry Manfredo Soderini in 1478 to forge an alliance between the two families. He died prior to 1494, when Girolamo Savonarola seized power in Florence.
